CF-Shield – An open source tool to protect any website with Cloudflare

It was fun making it, I hope you like it :3
udev4096•7mo ago
If bloating the web and centralizing it is your goal, you did well. Clownflare would die if it weren't for the oblivious customers such as yours
Firehawke•7mo ago
Hey, you go and stop every DDOSing asshole out there and I'll be glad to express that cloudflare should go away. Otherwise, those paying per-byte on bandwidth overage are more than glad to have a safety layer.
Sakura-sx•7mo ago
If your goal is to decentralize the web, you can buy our offerings at Voxga Research (voxga.es). We are a direct competitior to Cloudflare on the DDoS protection space.
udev4096•7mo ago
That looks cool. So, with project satyr, you are hoping that attackers would access your honeypot proxies from their actual IP? I find that hard to believe. Most of them either use a reputed VPN or Tor as their first point of entry so you are just hoping for low hanging fruits here, which makes for a shitty threat intel
Sakura-sx•7mo ago
Not really, most DDoS attacks are made from servers, taking down those servers makes the attacker need to get new ones. And from the logs I can assure you that 90% of the time it is a server, and the rest it is either residential IPs or VPNs but residential IPs are seen more i'd say.
pier25•7mo ago
doesn't CF protect websites automatically from DDoS?
oter•7mo ago
afaik meant to alert and mitigate, not protect. there are ddos attacks that get through cloudflare's lower tier plans
dangoodmanUT•7mo ago
That’s literally what it’s there for
Sakura-sx•7mo ago
No, it is there to make money, if their free plan included perfect DDoS protection no one would get the more pricier ones.
Sakura-sx•7mo ago
Yeah, many DDoS attacks get through cloudflare's lower tier plans, in fact bypassing cloudflare free is considered the bare minimum for a "stresser".
phantomathkg•7mo ago
How does it differ from existing Cloudflare DDoS protection on free tier? https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/ddos/
Sakura-sx•7mo ago
It captchas everyone when there is an attack.
userbinator•7mo ago
You mean "to further the browser monopoly".
Sakura-sx•7mo ago
Sir, I work against Cloudflare's monopoly on Voxga Research. But for a lot of people it is practical.
